Dennis Aghanya, the author of the petition against Walter Onnoghen, chief justice of Nigeria (CJN), is President Muhammadu Buhari’s former media aide.

Aghanya is the executive secretary of the Anti-Corruption and Research Based Data Initiative (ARDI), a civil society group that petitioned the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) over alleged non-declaration of assets by the CJN.

He was Buhari’s aide between 2009 and 2011 and the pioneer national publicity secretary of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). He is also the founding member of The Buhari Organisation (TBO).

When the national assembly had a face-off with the president over the lack of due process on the purchase of $496 million aircraft from the US, Aghanya appealed to the leadership of the national assembly to show understanding.

“For anyone to think of impeachment process against him is not right. We have many problems at hand. Violation of a constitutional provision is bad but it is worse to act in an immoral manner,” Aghanya had said.

In his recent petition, Aghanya accused the CJN of maintaining domiciliary foreign currencies accounts said to be contrary to relevant laws, especially for public office holders.



He said the petition became necessary “bearing in mind the imminence of the 2019 General Elections and the overwhelming roles of the Judicial Arm both before and after”.

TheCable had earlier reported that there were moves to remove Onnoghen before the elections.

The trial of the CJN before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) is slated to commence on Monday.

On the day of election, I will go out and cast my vote.

I will leave the rest in the Hands of the ruler of all nations (The Almighty God).

Politicians have fooled us so much, God will surely make fool of them this time.

There's no smoke without fire.

Who right the petition is not the issue

The issue is,did he contravene the constitution or not.


Let him prove himself,after all, he is the custodian of the constitution.

Is he not a Nigerian again? Do you expect the petition to come from Governor Wike his paymaster?

The question is: can he prove his innocence?

Why must every thing be seen from the eye of tribal sentiment?


Is this Nigeria not for all of us?

What if it is just a smokescreen to get him out? Bukola Saraki on my mind.

I wonder why biased minds aren't looking at these weighty allegations against the CJN. Let him prove his innocence at the court.

Let me understand pigs and idiots, Deji a PDP member who was termed an activist. So you mean because some one is supposedly linked with PMB stops the person to be an activist or be part of a CSO

Is the current CJN Walter Onnoghen running foreign accounts with dollars, pounds and euros? Did the CJN declare his assets as required by law? Answer legal and constitutional questions and stop beating about the bush. We don't want a CJN that is richer than Dangote through bribes and kick-backs. The CCT once tried Tinubu and Saraki and they were set free. So why is the CJN different?

Why didn't he petition him last year It's now at the dying minute that he'll do that there's God
